im just a speck of dust
i dont matter at all
victim of love and lust
victim of trip and fall

in this great wide world
it really makes no difference
when the rattlesnake uncurls
im just another statistic

i feel its fangs sink in
but i really feel no pain
deep into my skin
right into a vein

i feel the venom race
all through my body
all the way to my face
filling my blood hotly

but still i feel no pain
no agony no fear
even though i know it should hurt
and that the end is near

im falling away
everything is dark
everything you say
seems so far apart

i'll leave you now with these last words
and a peaceful look on my face
"dont let them bring you down,
or put you in your place"

"dont listen when they tell you
you're just a speck of dust,
dont fall victim to trip and fall,
but fall for love and lust"

"happiness is all you need
to live your life each day
along with faith for the Lord
and the gratefulness to pray"

"just be happy and live your life
don't let them tell you how,
cause you're not living in their past,
you're living in your now."
